Best I could do at the cemetery!
« on: Monday 24 November 14 04:04 GMT (UK) »
Can any of you clever people improve the clarity of the inscriptions in my cemetery photos?
I did not want to interfere with the graves and was very disappointed with my resulting pictures.
The inscriptions read...
"In Memory of PERCY FODEN Died 12th Dec 1903 Aged 35 Years
Also his wife GRACE ELIZABETH Died 25th July 1904"

"In Loving Memory of ISAAC CLEMENT FODEN Died 28th July 1910
Also his beloved wife ELIZABETH JANE Died 27th August 1910
In Hope."

I understand that this is not a normal photo restoration request, but hope some clever person may be able to assist me.
If a larger image would help you, please drop me a PM.
Many Thanks
Philip

Can't seem to do much with the first - though it is just readable - little better with second.  At least I could read what is on there without reading your transcription - it is easier to read as an inversion - but as you know what's written, I suspect you don't need that.

Thank you Brit2015
What a fantastic job you have done on what I had considering to be an impossible task for anybody.
I was so disappointed with the photos I had taken, but now my visit to the cemetery has been made worthwhile, thanks to your time and effort.
Very much appreciated
Thank you
